Check Out Procedures

Early Release/Check Out Requests

In order for students to check themselves out, a parent/guardian note or email must be provided to the front office to request early release/self-check-out. The front office will call student down to the office at the time requested on the note.

We cannot accept phone calls requesting early release and are unable to take last minute phone calls to have students waiting in the Front Office for parent arrival.

In the event of an emergency, the student’s principal and attendance personnel will be notified to approve release. A follow-up written note/email from the parent is expected to confirm the emergency.

Steele Accelerated High School is a closed campus, therefore, students are not allowed to leave the campus for lunch.

With the passage of Texas State House Bill 5, we are no longer able to disrupt a classroom through the use of telephone or intercom.

If a student misses 20 minutes or more of a class because of checking out early, he or she will be marked absent in that class.
